So I got the best surprise today.... I knew my dad had an old Canon A1
that was broken, (which miraculously has healed itself) and I went to dig it out; But also in the same camera bag was:

a Canon TX with no lenses, unfortunately, but can remedy that soon.
A mass of filters, (who the hell knew we had filters?)
A bunch of shutter cable thingies, extender lens, all kinds of crazy stuff.

All in all, this loot remedied the 5+ hours I spent researching stem cell research....bleh
